The Quiet Mother
My whole life, I wanted to be a mummy, even as a little girl I knew that was my greatest overall goal. Then came the day I eventually held my daughter... my soul cracked wide open and in poured despair and loneliness.

All throughout my time as a Birth Worker, supporting families during their pregnancy and transition into parenthood, I never experienced or even considered the reality of stillbirth. Alba Wildflower was immensely active all throughout our pregnancy, then one day, she wasn't. Nothing in the world can ever prepare you for that moment ~ I'm still not prepared ~ but how you're tended to in the days, weeks and months that follow can really help ease you gently into your new life.
That is what I want to offer you.. to be held, heard and witnessed. To lessen the load of survival mode.
What I offer

Having recently experienced stillborn baby loss myself, I understand the profound shifts that follow: the loss of identity, the absence of purpose, the strain it can place on relationships, and the slow, tender process of learning who you are again. I know the weight of the everyday.. tending to personal care when it feels impossible, finding words for friends and family, facing your own reflection, and moving through a world that no longer feels real.

When your body is postpartum but your arms are empty, the grief is both physical and deeply emotional. Reality can feel distorted, time can lose meaning, and the mind can struggle to make sense of it all.

My role is to help gently hold some of that weight; to offer compassionate presence, practical support, and deep, true understanding, so that you don’t have to navigate those moments alone, but can move through them, one hour at a time, with care, solidarity and support at your side.
